Episode 11 "Forgotten Marie"

I'm exhausted.

It's late, too.

I'll just shower and then turn in for...

Marie?!

Master Arthur?

Wh-Why...?!

I-It's not what you think!

The staff bathroom was out of order, so...

That's not the issue here!

Robots...

don't bathe.

Which means...

I've outed myself as human!

M-Marie, I'm so sorry!

I'll leave right away!

Master Arthur!

Oh, man, I've got this huge-ass mansion to clean, know what I mean?

A member of the cleaning staff.

In the middle of the night, I'm on deck. Got trash to collect.

Remember to recycle.

Bring on the mirac—Wuh? Wait, hmm?

Whoops! Forgot to turn out the light.

And to lock up, another oversight.

In the middle of the night, I'm on deck. Got trash to collect.

Please wait! We're still in here!

Let us out!

Now I've got the trash, I'm in the clear and outta here. Oh yeah.

Does this mean...

We're locked in?!

I could bust down the door.

But Roy would kill me for sure if I did.

Don't worry, Marie. Someone will find us on their morning rounds.

Morning?

We're stuck like this...

until morning.

BOP BOP BOP BOP BOP

BOP BOP BOP

Stop it! This is a regular old emergency!

What are you getting excited for, dude?!

For now...

You get in here, Marie.

You're not cold, are you?

I'll be fine out here.

I'll try not to look that way, so just pretend I'm a rock or something.

What? But Master Arthur is even more...

I can't.

Forget about me.

What if you were to catch a cold?

No, you should...

Master Arthur, you should...

But you're huma—I mean, you're a girl.

A-Anyway, you're important to me! Just stay put in there.

Please.

Master Arthur...

Hang on.

Did he say "human" just now?!

I mean, worrying about a robot getting cold or sick makes no sense.

And I'm supposed to be one, yet he put me in the tub anyway.

Does Master Arthur...

realize that I'm human?!

That has to be it! Master Arthur thinks I'm human.

Seriously, what have I gotten myself into here?

I walked right into a fan service cliché!

It's way to soon for us to think about getting in a tub together!

The asking out.

Asking out

There's a proper order to these things!

The proposal.

Proposal

A proper order!

The engagement.

Engagement

I mean, it's not like I'm not excited!

To be honest, I'm over the moon! It's just...

Um, Master Arthur,

how long has it been?

Since what?

How long have you, well...

Known that I'm human?!

Since I fell for her?!

Why ask me that now?

Still, I've never seen her look so serious.

I need to give her a real answer!

Let me think.

I became sure of it when you solved a problem I'd been running from for years.

So much was going on, but...

Yeah, it must have been after the fireworks show.

That's when I dropped that article about my past and lost it!

Don't tell me...

Fighting News

Master Arthur really saw that after all?!

Y-Y-You got a look, didn't you, Master Arthur?!

G-G-Got a look?! At what?!

D-Does she mean...

her naked body from when we fell over before?!

I-I did not!

You're lying! Please tell me the truth!

It doesn't make sense any other way!

Master Arthur, I... I just want to know the truth.

I...

I did! Just a peek!

I knew it!

I wasn't imagining things.

I can't believe it. Master Arthur knew. He knows I'm human.

I-It's wrong to lie. Good on me for being honest!

If that's the case...

Master Arthur.

Master Arthur...

How do you feel about me?

Marie?

Her hands are shaking.

Does me having seen her naked bother her that much?

Please, don't feel anxious!

You're such an amazing girl that you're wasted on me.

How do I feel about you, Marie? That's obvious.

You're a strong, cute,

wonderful girl.

No.

I'm underhanded.

I've lied to him all this time.

I've betrayed and hurt him so much.

In the end, how is what I'm doing

any different from what Daryl did?

But Master Arthur is being so nice to me.

Still, this isn't fair.

After how long I've lied to him, I don't deserve all his kindness.

I don't want to run from Master Arthur anymore.

M-Marie!

Master Arthur, I want to tell you something.

Could this be leading to her...

telling me she loves me?!

It must be! We're talking romance.

Even if I'm scared,

even if he hates me, I'll tell him the truth.

She looks so worried.

What kind of guy makes a girl take the lead?

Once I tell him, I'll leave this house.

Okay, I'll say it first.

Um...

Um...

Master Arthur?

Master Arthur?

Master Arthur!

Master Arthur detected.

I thought we'd find him here.

Roy, Marie 2!

What the...?

I-It's not what it looks like!

Master Arthur!

Emergency mode engaged.

Thankfully, Master Arthur's life is in no danger.

Based on my examination,

I believe he was dosed with an unusual poison.

An unusual poison?

Now that you mention it, earlier...

Young Master!
